# re: Mind Rates

It wasn't actually your comments I was talking about, but some of the responses to that post.

Your point about the flat rate is certainly a good one, but difficulty of a problem is hard to track. I was a consultant for many years and I charged by the hour... but Chris wants people to pay up front, and hourly would be difficult to do in that way. Providing an estimate takes time too. Perhaps he could charge $27 for the estimate and count that amount towards the answer if it is harder... I actually think more people would complain about that scenario, even if it is more rational.

Just try to sneak hard questions in and you'll be getting a lot out of your $27 :)
